Vegan Hot Corn Dip

You just can’t get any easier than this…a five ingredient dip that takes less than 2 minutes to pull together and will disappear just as fast.

I found this awesome recipe and although the original wasn’t vegan, I changed a few ingredients and made this a cheesy vegan dip that is sure to become one of your favorites.

I substituted the monterey jack cheese with Daiya vegan mozzarella cheese, the parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast and regular mayonnaise with Vegenaise.

My nutritional yeast is the large flake version, so I put it in my Mr. Coffee coffee grinder and made it into a fine parmesan texture.

My husband, (who hasn’t fallen in love with vegan cheese yet and has to have “real” cheese) really liked it, but said the nutritional yeast was a little too much.  I happen to absolutely love nutritional yeast so I didn’t really notice it to be overpowering.  For me, the more the better! However, if you don’t want a strong nutritional yeast flavor, you may want to reduce it by maybe a 1/4 cup.

And, there’s probably a reason the recipe is called “hot” corn dip…it 110 percent tastes better “hot” out of the oven than after it has cooled down, so definitely make sure you serve it hot!
